Nespresso has collaborated with world-renowned pastry chef and chocolatier Pierre Hermé on a festive capsule collection which will delight palates this holiday season.
The limited-edition collaboration between Nespresso and Pierre Hermé – one of the best pastry chefs and chocolatiers in the world – is a delicious and indulgent celebration. From the creator of the Haute Pâtisserie, Pierre Hermé’s pastries are at the apex of avant-garde design, skilled technique and refined flavours. He worked closely with Nespresso to pair his unmistakably modern imagination with technique to craft the ultimate limited-edition coffee experience.
The limited edition collection consists of: Infiniment Espresso, Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette, Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise, and an exclusive advent calendar, plus stylish accessories.
The Infiniment Espresso, a black single origin coffee, is sourced from Tolima in Colombia. The Arabica beans have vibrant red fruit and smooth cereal notes, expressing an impressive depth of flavour and an elegant mouthfeel.
The Original espresso offerings also include two flavoured coffees: the Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette and the Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise. the Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette is crafted from delicately sweet South American Arabica beans, which has an unmistakable aroma of roasted hazelnut flavour followed by sweet top notes of almond biscotti and delicate vanilla. The refreshingly smooth Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise articulates a smooth cereal aroma pairing beautifully with the alluring flavour of raspberries. Both of these inspire a premium pastry experience by declaring the same complex flavours one associates with Pierre Hermé’s elevated pastries.
When it comes to the decadent mug sized Vertuo flavoured coffees, the Latin American and African Arabica beans of Infiniment Gourmand Saveur Noisette reveal graceful roasted hazelnut flavours with top notes of praline and vanilla, while Vertuo Infiniment Fruité Saveur Framboise divulges the bracing tartness of raspberry flavour juxtaposed with the smooth cereal notes from its Latin American and African Arabicas.
Rounding out the festive collection are this season’s Original and Vertuo Advent Calendars, containing 24 coffees and a surprise gift for the last day.
The giftable advent calendars contain the three co-created Nespresso | Pierre Hermé coffees as well as favourites from the Nespresso permanent range, offering a different coffee behind each door for a delightful surprise on the path to the festive season, all presented in an exquisite box designed to be reused afterwards.
Last but not least, take the flavours from the artistry of haute pastry anywhere with the collectable Nomad Travel Mug in a festive Raspberry colour.
The Nespresso | Pierre Hermé collection is available now for a limited time only from Nespresso boutiques and online.
